Dammi il sopore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Dammi il sopore, dammi il dormir, ei dolci sogni dell' avenir. Ombre notturne mi stanno innante, rendon mia vita triste e pesante. Sol da lontano l'alba m'appare, solo nel sogno posso obliare. Vita, il tuo corso fummi un lagnor; donami i sogni, dammi il sopor!
Note: this text comes from a collection of handwritten copies of Lieder by several composers; it is subtitled "Musica da Giulio Benoni". The title "Romance" was added in pencil by another hand, but we are not sure how authoritative this title is so we have left it titled "Dammi il sopore". We have also corrected a typo in stanza 3, line 3, word 3 : the word is written "sono" in the manuscript.
